What kind of girl would travel to another world?
Chapter 149: The end of You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi's day. - Too frightened!
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Torsi and Di Wuan from the adventure team officially joined You Jiahui's camp. You Jiahui was currently bringing Yang Mingyi and two members of the adventure team to the area where the village was to be built.
As soon as You Jiahui and her group got off the carriage, they saw another group of people coming here. The leader was the supervisor Oakley who had just led his men away yesterday.
After a conversation with You Jiahui, Supervisor Oakley continued to instruct the people he brought with him to work.
You Jiahui and her group, who had nothing to do, watched from the side for a while.
Yang Mingyi was the first to speak up. She asked You Jiahui, "Building a village must cost a lot of money. Where did you get so much money?"
You Jiahui felt that explaining was too much trouble, so she told Yang Mingyi, "Don't worry about it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Yang Mingyi then asked You Jiahui, "Didn't you borrow money from some 'online loan sharking'? Isn't that a scam?"
You Jiahui immediately interrupted Yang Mingyi's question and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did that thing come from?"
Only You Jiahui understood what Yang Mingyi was saying. Standing by, Torsi and Di Wuan had no idea what "online loan sharking" meant and looked at each other in bewilderment.
In fact, all of this has been mentioned in the previous chapters. The establishment of this village was a collaboration between You Jiahui and the Merchant Guild.
After a while, Torsi asked You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, why are all these construction workers half-elves?"
You Jiahui told Torsi, "I don't understand this either. I just heard that it's the busy farming season these days and it's hard to find people. Thanks to the president for his help. I don't know where he found so many people..." At this point, she crossed her arms again and fell into deep thought.
After hearing this, Yang Mingyi curiously asked You Jiahui, "Is he the president of the Adventurer's Guild?"
After You Jiahui's thoughts were interrupted, she told Yang Mingyi, "It's the president of the Merchants Guild."
Di Wuan, who had been silent for a long time, also asked You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, who are you going to house all these houses you're building at once?"
You Jiahui smiled slightly and told Di Wuan, "If there are no houses, no one will come. We need to build houses first... What do you think?"
Thorschi let out a long "Oh," indicating he understood You Jiahui's idea. Di Wuan thought for a moment, then nodded, half understanding, without asking any more questions.
Yang Mingyi didn't understand. She was still wondering why You Jiahui was so familiar with the president of the Merchants Guild and could even ask the president of the Merchants Guild to do her this kind of favor.
After the four of them strolled around the area for a while, they decided to return to the mansion.
As soon as they got on the carriage, You Jiahui said to Di Wuan, "Captain, after they have drawn all the lines, you can decide where to build your blacksmith shop."
Di Wuan said to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, I have made up my mind. After they draw the line, I will find a place on the edge of this village that is close to your mansion and build my own house and blacksmith shop."
You Jiahui nodded after hearing this and said to Di Wuan, "That's fine. As long as we're close by, I can arrange for you to do something and it will be convenient for me to find you."
In this way, the four of them returned to the mansion in a carriage. Before building his own house, Di Wuan had to live in You Jiahui's mansion.
After that, You Jiahui thought that Di Wuan might need clay to build a house, so she privately told Di Wuan the location of the clay mine she had discovered before.
Now that we have finished talking about You Jiahui's day, we have to turn around and talk about Wei Qingping.
As mentioned before, Wei Qingping and King Jianhao were searching for a possible "secret passage" at the "spring". Wei Qingping was suddenly bitten by an "unknown object" on the artery in his neck. In an instant, blood spurted out of his neck and he died.
So, is Wei Qingping dead?
Ever since Wei Qingping was bitten to death by an "unknown object" yesterday, King Jianhao has been blaming himself until now. We have to go back to yesterday to continue the story.
Just yesterday, after confirming that Wei Qingping had completely passed away, the Swordsman King collapsed. Then, recalling the people he had "killed" in his life, he was so grief-stricken that he almost drew his sword and committed suicide.
However, it is not that easy to commit suicide. You have to think about it for a long time before dying.
Anyone who seeks death has had the thought beforehand. One type makes the decision gradually, while the other type is suddenly struck by a strong stimulus.
In short, if you want to "successfully implement" the above two methods, you need to think about them in advance. Even if you think a lot and make up your mind, there are still those who regret it before you start.
So, committing suicide isn't easy. It doesn't mean you can just commit suicide the moment you feel like it. If someone were decisive, they wouldn't end up committing suicide. They would definitely hesitate before finally making up their mind.
Just as he was about to slit his own throat with his giant sword, the Swordsman King suddenly thought to himself, "No! If I die, who will tell her friends about her passing? Even if I can't tell her family, I should at least let her friends in this other world know. If they can bring the news back, then it won't be considered an unclear death."
Just like that, the Swordsman King suddenly decided: Don’t die!
So, it's not that easy to "seek death." When people reach that point, they'll always come up with all sorts of reasons to believe they can't die, unless they can't find any. Once they find a reason, their desire to live becomes even stronger.
For example, before dying, think about this: If I die like this, my whole life will be filled with misfortune. At least I'm still alive; maybe I'll encounter something lucky, which would be a win. Dying now is a lifetime of misfortune, and living a little longer would still be a lifetime of misfortune. And what if I suddenly get lucky? Wouldn't that be a huge win?
As long as one holds the mindset of "a good death is worse than a miserable life," no matter what unpleasant things happen to him, he will not go to extremes. Why didn't the Swordsman King choose to fight his "ex-wife" to the death when he was in Grilanchi? This is because his character determines his fate.
The giant sword was thrown aside. The Swordsman King sat in front of Wei Qingping's "corpse" in a daze, muttering to himself, "You mentioned in a previous chat that in addition to believing in gods, you also said that you worshipped the 'earth element'. 'Holding' your burial is my way of respecting the 'last wishes of the deceased'. It's just one more thing I'm doing for you."
Afterwards, the Swordsman King began digging a pit for Wei Qingping. After the pit was large enough, he simply wrapped Wei Qingping's "body" with a "sheet" and put it into the pit, and finally buried the "body".
In this way, as time passed, it was already evening.
The Swordsman King looked up at the night sky and thought to himself, "Just leave her body here, so that I can tell her friends where she is..." Thinking of this, he silently lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
The Swordsman King spent the entire day lamenting various things, sometimes shedding sorrowful tears, sometimes smiling helplessly. He pondered this and that, and before he knew it, he was getting sleepy.
Afterwards, the Swordsman King sat in front of the "grave" and kept thinking about the past, and eventually fell asleep on the spot.
The night of the Swordsman King has passed, and the events of yesterday have come to an end. Now let’s go back to this day.
After waking up, the Swordsman King began to pour out all his life's "bitterness" to Wei Qingping's "grave", but unfortunately Wei Qingping couldn't hear him at all.
Just when the Swordsman King was speaking with great emotion, suddenly!
It wasn't that the "unknown object" that bit people before came again, but a hand suddenly stretched out from Wei Qingping's "grave"!
The Swordsman King was so frightened that he collapsed backwards, yelling incoherently, "Fuck! Zombies!"
What on earth is going on? Did Wei Qingping really turn into a zombie after her death?
Of course not, it just means that the person is alive again!
Wei Qingping stretched out one hand from the "grave," and then burst forth from the earth. No matter how solidly the Swordsman King had piled the earth, it was as if it were nothing before Wei Qingping. This was the "power" bestowed upon her by the gods.
The first words Wei Qingping said after her resurrection were: "What are you doing? Why did you bury me alive while I was sleeping?"
Wei Qingping stood up, shaking off the dirt on her body. From what she said, it was clear that she had lost her memory.
At this time, the Sword King was stunned, staring at Wei Qingping as if he had seen a ghost.
When Wei Qingping saw that there was only the Sword King in front of her, she thought that the Sword King had "buried her alive". She pointed at the Sword King and said in a complaining tone: "You are so old and still playing pranks..."
After Wei Qingping finished speaking, she saw that the Swordsman King didn't say anything, nor did he have that "sly smile" after his "prank." She thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be an earthquake? Why do I always encounter earthquakes..."
No matter how much Wei Qingping said, the Sword King was in a state of "aphasia". He was completely shocked! Medically speaking, this is called "excessive shock".
Seeing that the Swordsman King didn't say anything, Wei Qingping didn't ask any more questions. After shaking off all the dirt on her body, she saw a piece of cloth mixed with dirt and blood in the pit.
Wei Qingping picked up the "strip of cloth" and looked at it, then said to herself, "Wow—what is this? It's so dirty..."
The Swordsman King had gradually recovered from his shock, but his forehead was visibly covered in sweat. He calmed himself down a bit, took a few breaths, and then told Wei Qingping, "That was the piece of cloth I used to sleep on."
After hearing this, Wei Qingping let out a long "Oh..." Then, she asked King Jianhao, "Will you still use this in the future?" As she spoke, she handed the piece of cloth in the direction of King Jianhao.
King Jianhao took a few deep breaths and told Wei Qingping, "It's not necessary. When we disassembled the Iron Hoof Beast, there was still a lot of fur left."
Wei Qingping looked at the side of the Swordsman King's backpack and saw a lot of animal skins hanging on it. Then she remembered that the Swordsman King had indeed used animal skins to cover himself when he slept in the past few days.
Wei Qingping glanced at the Swordsman King again and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost in broad daylight..."
Wei Qingping's words really revealed the secret. How could she have known that the Sword Master King just thought he saw a ghost?
The Swordsman King finally asked Wei Qingping, "Could it be... you are really a prophet sent by the gods? Did you travel through time... or..."
Wei Qingping told King Jianhao, "Didn't I make it clear before... I seemed to have said that I was chosen by the gods to be a prophet! That should be the case..." At the end, she suddenly felt a little unconfident.
After hearing this, the Swordsman King fell into deep thought. A sense of loss washed over him, and he thought, "So she is the 'Chosen One'! This time, seeing is believing."
When Wei Qingping saw that King Jianhao could communicate normally, she asked King Jianhao, "What happened just now? Was I scared and fainted during the earthquake?" As she spoke, she touched the top of her head and did not feel any lump caused by the stone, so she was sure that she was not knocked unconscious.
The Swordsman King frowned, his expression extremely serious. He told Wei Qingping, "It wasn't just now, it was yesterday. You were bitten on the neck!"
After hearing this, Wei Qingping thought about it again and suddenly screamed, "Ah!" Only then did she remember what had happened before, and she quickly touched her neck.
Wei Qingping touched her neck but didn't feel any wound. She muttered, "My neck is fine..." Then she picked up the water bag and poured out some water.
After wiping her neck with water, Wei Qingping noticed her hands were covered in blood. Her eyes widened as she screamed, "Wow! Blood!"
It was blood, blood was gushing out of Wei Qingping's neck at that time.
Wei Qingping's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and she quickly poured some water to wash her neck.
While cleaning his neck, Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "What bit me?"
King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "I didn't see it clearly at the time. I just saw what looked like a long tail. It might be some small beast here."
Wei Qingping thought for a moment and said to the Swordsman King, "It can't be a monster! Didn't you say that your country... your, uh... your country no longer has any monsters?"
Wei Qingping originally wanted to say "your country" to King Jianhao, but was refuted by King Jianhao before, so he changed his words midway.
The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping, "It's probably not a monster. If it were, it wouldn't have bitten you alone."
After hearing this, Wei Qingping muttered to herself, "Oh... can't you just chat first? Why do you hug my neck and nibble on it right away?" As she spoke, she continued to pour some water and then wipe my neck.
After a while, Wei Qingping cleaned her neck and asked King Jianhao, "I was just bitten, so why did you bury me?"
King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "The beast moved very quickly. It bit you and disappeared without a trace. You were already dead, and I thought you were dead, so I buried you."
Wei Qingping was confused at this time and asked King Jianhao, "You just said I was dead? Then how come I am alive again?"
Wei Qingping’s question was “useless”, as the Swordsman King had no idea why.
The only possibility King Jianhao could think of was that the gods had saved Wei Qingping, but this was just his guess and could not be used as an answer. He wanted to hear how Wei Qingping would explain this "supernatural phenomenon."
